First of all, for those unfamiliar with tequila, what exactly is it?

According to the Food Network, tequila is a type of alcohol made from the blue agave plant, which grows in certain parts of Mexico. The heart of the agave, called the ‘pina,’ is harvested, cooked, and fermented to create tequila. Depending on how long it's aged, tequila can vary in flavor and color.
